One of my favorite ways to prepare sweeter squashes like kabocha and butternut is oven roasting because it brings out their sweetness and is soooo delicious! I just got a big kabocha squash from my garden so I tried roasting with cinnamon and nutmeg since those spices are a nice complement to squash. The touch of cayenne gives it a little bite but is optional :)

Besides kabocha and butternut, squashes like acorn, delicata or anything on the sweet end would work well.
